The warm, supportive atmosphere at Pocklington Prep School ensures children quickly find their feet socially and academically, so they make the best possible progress and feel valued.
Learning takes off at Pocklington School, as pupils spread their wings academically and enjoy the freedom to explore the many subjects and co-curricular activities on offer.
Sixth Form study goes hand in hand with enabling a smooth transition to university or work, and alongside academic focus, our students enjoy numerous opportunities to nurture their teamwork, leadership and innovative thinking skills.
Old Pocklingtonians remain an important part of the Pocklington School ‘family’ long after they have left school; a connection which is actively maintained by the Old Pocklingtonian Association through sporting and social events and careers support.
